In your case, since you would be leaving the continent, it is advisable to fill out the new I-94. The number of days does not matter (By mentioning 30 days, I think you are confusing your situation with AVR - which does not apply to you, since you are cdn citizen i.e. visa exempt).
You are right when you leave for India from the US. But the OP is going to India by leaving Canada and re-entering Canada. The US exit and entry is through Canada and not from outside N.A. Is a new I94 necessary under this situation? Maybe not?

Yes, a new I-94 is necessary since the OP is leaving western hemisphere. Whether the US authority will notice his travel plan or not is a different story!
